2000 Degrees F Power Wire for Aerospace Environment
Abstract
Resistivity and tensile properties as a function of temperature, to 2000 deg F, were measured for pure rhodium and platinum-coated molybdenum. Oxidation of these materials and their compatibility with various high-temperature insulators were also tested. The first attempt to produce power wire capable of functioning at 2000 deg F will consist of rhodium wire and MgO insulation enclosed in a platinum sheath.
